Listen Later

Alex explains why people procrastinate and how it can potentially mean you end up with lots of unfinished projects

He also provides great content on how to stop procrastinating and develop a finishing mindset so that you can be someone who not only finishes but also learns from every project you begin

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • In week 1 of a project, you are full of enthusiasm and inspiration  but by week 3 you lose interest and abandon the project
  • You can end up with multiple projects that you never finish
  • You need the four follow through muscles of focus, resisting distraction, persistence and taking action when looking at a project
  • In week 1 your follow-through muscles are at their optimum
  • Psychological roadblocks are the expectations you create around perfectionism
  • It’s insecurity in disguise it gives you what you perceive as valid excuses to not to take action
  • You need to adopt a finishing mindset
  • In the process of getting to the end, you will be learning
  • Finishing always equals learning and keeps the psychological roadblock of perfection at bay
  • Have a finishing manifesto – a set of rules that means you always finish
  • ‘I want’ is what you want to achieve, ‘I will’ is the actions you will complete, ‘I won’t’ is removing the distractions so you can achieve

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘It doesn’t have to be perfect because when you finish you have always learnt something’

‘It’s a mindset that will help you to keep learning’

‘Have an implementation intention and you will be more likely to take action’
